Answer:

C. The wish will be granted in an unexpected manner

The author uses the conversation between Mr. White, Mrs. White, and Herbert in paragraphs 68 and 70 to foreshadow that:

C. The wish will be granted in an unexpected manner.

  • This question refers to the short story "The Monkey's Paw," by W. W Jacobs.
  • In the story, the Whites have a friends over, a sergeant who has been to India.
  • The man brings with him a mummified paw that, he says, will grant three wishes. However, he advises the Whites not to use it.
  • In the paragraphs we are analyzing here, the Whites are talking about the paw's powers. Mr. White mentions the fact that the wishes come true in such natural ways that it seems they happened by coincidence.
  • This serves as foreshadowing, that is, a prediction of what will happen later in the story.
  • The author is revealing that, when the Whites make their wish, it will be granted in an unexpected manner.
  • In conclusion, letter C is the best option as to what is foreshadowed in the paragraphs.
